Spanish need to use more force to combat piracy on the high seas if you ask me.

Hippies using gas powered boats to protest companies drilling for oil.

I find it rather telling and amusing that they have yet to protest the Soviets/Russians/North Koreans/Cubans/Venezuelan/Nicaraguan/fill in the blank any other Communist country quest for oil/whale/fish/fill in the blank.

They could have all drowned and my meter would have pegged 0.

We call them RHIB boats in the US Navy. SEALs use them all the time.
